Want to wait longer than ever in voting lines? Then you'll love Texas' Senate Bill 7

Texas’ election laws might need fixing, but not this way.

The Texas Legislature is making the Lone Star State look as bad as Georgia, taking up election bills that are not as blatantly unfair but still make voting tougher than in 2020.

Catering to the 52% of Texas Republicans who think the national election results were “very inaccurate,” Texas lawmakers have swashbuckled into action to plug leaks in the system.

But some of the fixes don’t fix anything. They just deter voters.

For example, the Texas Senate passed a bill last week that will make long voting lines even longer.

Do mass protests where hundreds of us give cold bottles of water to voters in line....over and over and over again. I bet at least that part of the law will change. And anyone who suffers heat stroke or other injury when they have had to be in line for hours in stifling heat should sue the state for reckless endangerment.
